The primary point of concern, however, is the lengthy implementation timeline for the initiative (three years), which is considered excessive foot-dragging and contradicts previous coalition agreements. This position is geared toward supporting citizens in managing their debt burden and obligations, making it primarily policy- and results-driven.
